Psalm 70 – A Cry for Help in Persecution

Revision 2

70 For the leader. Of David. For commemoration.

70 Quickly, God, deliver me,

hasten to help me, Lord.

2 May those who are seeking my life,

be ashamed and confounded.

3 May those who delight in my hurt

be defeated and brought to dishonour.

4 But may all who seek after you

rejoice and be glad in you.

May all who love your salvation

say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

5 I am weak and needy:

make haste, God, to me.

You are my help and deliverer;

Lord, don’t delay.
